Anticipation... Seeing Morrissey in March!

So it's now officially March, and in a mere seventeen days Lexi and I are venturing to Pittsburgh, PA for Morrissey's show at the Carnegie Music Center! Very excited we are... as our love of The Smiths and mutual appreciation for the great Moz was an immediate interest for us to bond over as a burgeoning couple!

From the new album, Years of Refusal, this is Morrissey and the boys performing "I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris" on Tonight with Jonathan Ross. Watch they entire clip too for they also play another little diddy you might recognise!

Appreciation.... Ironville

I haven't gone on about any Swedish bands in a while now so here's a wonderfully animated video by Henrik Öhberg for the song, "Roses" by the band Ironville. I truly love this track! They're a band that pull off something I always thought would be fun with being a band and that is just making music that morphs and moves through whatever genres and styles appeal to them using multiple singers and as many instruments as they can fill a stage with at a time!

This is the video for "Roses"!

Appreciation... Yea Yeah! The Matt & Kim Show Equalled Awesome!

Last night, my girlfriend and I took in the Matt & Kim show at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD, and it was an amazing time indeed! We even got to meet them before the show and they kindly autographed the sleeve to their EP for us, and Matt in particular was very talkative and excited for the show as it was their first in the city for 2009.

Their set was incredible! We were right up front, and they parked the drums and keyboard so close to the edge of the stage that we could read their "Matt & Kim" masking tape name tags on their equipment! The show was all high energy... stop to finish! So much fun and such a great night! This being the first show Lexi and I have ever hit together makes it rather special too!

Anticipation... Matt & Kim at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD Feb. 26th!

I haven't been to a show in since the fall, so I picked up tickets to see that cool cute indie couple, Matt & Kim, in Baltimore as part of a Valentine's Day gift for my girlfriend. We're bursting with crazy, hyper excitement for the show! So in the meantime we've been frequently blasting tracks from the new album in the car and learning the lyrics to all the cool new songs because isn't that what an awesome new album is for after all!

From their new full length album, Grand, this is the video for "Daylight"!

Confession... Failed Blog Effort

Modern life has been keeping me busy, busy, busy and I really have let this page go! My time is precious and I have been so busy doing this and doing that, that blogging has not been on my list of things to do!

Truth be told, I have also been suffering a bit of blog envy, because I follow so many amazing blogs that showcase new music, and I feel they cover more bands and do a better job than I will ever possibly do. But ultimately, this blog was just for me to kind of put the things I like to look at or hear somewhere that I could find them easily and in turn showcase them a bit too to the people I know and care about -along with anyone else who happens to stumble across my page!

So I'll give it another go... see where it goes... and try to have some fun with it once more!

Stay tuned!

Jubilation... New Bird and the Bee Album in Stores Today!

I'm very excited for this one! Enjoy this video and buy the album! There's no better way to start the day!

Lamentation... Where, oh where has my blog efforts gone?

It does seem like I have rather abandoned this endeavour, does it not? Well, I have been in debate of it for some time now, because I am trying to reduce the time I spend online and devote it to making art. One only has so much free time, you know! I may begin though to shift my posts to other topics too as posting videos is getting to be trickier and trickier business online these days... who knows! I have tried to feature musicians properly and respectfully and make no profit for any of my efforts. But nonetheless, I don't wish to step on any corporate copyright toes!

For tonight... a particular favourite from The Divine Comedy, "The Perfect Love Song"



For my Lexi-Love!
